Justice has been vndicated in Chicago by
the prompt conviction of the eleven "boodleis
who have been tried together. Seven OF them
were sentenced to imprisonment for two years
and four to pay fines of $1,000 each. This
does not seem like heavy Punishment; but il
is perhaps enough to meet the requirements
of Justice. If Warden McGariglc can n'
brought back from Canada, and made to serve
out his sentence, there will have been no mis-
hap in these cases. 1t is great source o.

about a per cent Were the rate tina. OF 1861
the yearly interest would now be 81 O3 per
cauita instead of less than 81 cents.
This is satisfactory, but it is not quite so
pleasant to know that Republican laws are so
far poorly enforced that excessive imports
bcgin to threaten industrial Ir-sperity. The
official statement of foreign commerce lnst
pnblishcd shows that imports OF manufactured
iron in various forms amounted to 9l,ooo
tons in the month of June alone, besides
"a. G27 tons of pig and 81, 1873 tons OF scrap
iron. and 81, 934 tons of ore. The significance
of those figures is seen when the entire con-
sumption for the half year Is considered In
that period 239,2 65 tons of pig were imported,
aqainst 1885 for the last half of 1886, and
vet the consumption of all raw iron was only
3.2SO.23S gross tons, against 3,4l9,6s6 Tor
;he last half of 1856. The reason becomes
obvious when it is seen that the imports OF
manufactured iron during the six months
amounted to 499, 1894 tons this year, against
3o9 662 for the last half of last year. Yet
the consumption actually increased. all kinds
Of iron considered, about 10000 tons, Dut
that increase came, TO the extent of 100000
tons, through the enlarged imports oil foreign
raw and manufactured iron.
Similar evidence is given by the statistics
of wool imports. In June 11,247,364 pounds
of raw wool were imported, the increase In
carpet wool, so-called, being about so per
cent. and much of this was fraudulently i'm
ported for other uses, while the increase in
combing wool was about 400 FER cent. The
aggregate of wool imports for the year was
1l4O3s. O3O pounds, following the phenom-
email 129, OS4,953 for the previous fiscal year,
much OF which was left unsold to depress tho
market during the last twelve months I'M
ports of woollen cloth increased in June
about 100, 900 pounds, and of waste and rags
about 10000 pounds. The value OF all wool
and woolcns imported was $61, 329,29o dur
ing the twelve months ending June 80, against
SOS, 167, 400 for the previous year. Our wool
growers and manufacturers have severe COM
pctition to meet, not only because the laws
were changed in vital respects mainly by Dem
ccratic votes, but because Democratic Ad-
ministraion does not enforce the laws that
exist according to the intention OF Congress.

How to Succeed.

How to succeed! Why, the road is plain and the task easy. Thorough farming, clean land, bet ter breeds of stock, more liberal and early feeding are the essen tials. Let the railroad magnates know that the farmers will no lon ger raise bulky crops to sell at a loss. No more 25-cent corn. No more 75-cent wheat. Condense your pastures, hay, corn, oat, man. gles, potatoes and barley into beef, pork, mutton, butter, cheese and wool. These are the platform and fundamental principles of success.
 Farming is pleasant, profitable honorable and useful occupation. But it must be good farming to be respectable. It must be done eco nomically. It must be thorough farming to be profitable. It IS slow but sure. But no slipShod farming or cheap temporary expe. riments. Kill weeds instead of checking them. Sow or plant on ly where there is reasonable hope of a good crop. Farmers are gull ty of many mean things in attempt ing to raise q crop where common sense should teach them nothing could be produced, and then charging the failure to Providence. But when they do their whole du- ty, plant, blow, and hoe with an honest faith, the farmer can real ize the picture drawn by Dryden: Here easy quiet, a sure retreat,
 A hamlet life that knows not how to cheat,
 With home bred plenty the rich owner bless
 And rural pleasures crown his happiness.
 UnveN'd with guarres, mdisturbed with noise, The country king hi- peaceful realm enjoys; Cool glots and i,lng lakes, the howry pride ofmcad and stream thai through the valley glide, And shady groves, that easy sleep invite,
 And, after to-omc days, sweet repo,e at night Ben Perly Poore in American CultiyatOr.

Friends.

People who have warm friends, are healthier, happier than those who have none. A single real friend is treasure worth more than gold or precious stones.- Money can buy many things, good and evil. All the wealth of the world can not buy a friend, or pay for the loss of one. q have only wanted one thing to make me hap py,n Hazlitt writes, "but wanting that, have wanted everything. And again, My heart, shut up in pris. on house of this rude clay, has nev- CT found, nor will it ever find a heart to speak to-"
 We are the weakest ofspendthrifts if we let a friend drop off through inattentiOu, or let one push away another; or if We hold aloof, from one petty jealousy or needless slight of roughness. Would you throw away a diamond because it pricked you! One good friend is not to be weighed against the jewels of the earth.-Christian at work.

AGRICULTURAL.
Too Much Land.

Can that system of farming be right which improverishes the soil and reduces the yieldg Can that system of farming be right aud profitable which does not i'm rrove tie soil and increase the yield!
 The average farmer in the South is attempting to cultivate too much land. The average farmer in the South owns more land than he can manage profitably. The time. labor and money expended on twenty acres should be concen- trated on ten. But It was one o1 those venerable and reverend GUS toms of the past, which, although improbable and wasteful, and un- suited to those conditions imposed by the destruction of our slave-la- Dor system, we still cling to with singular tenacity. The slave-own- CT of the South was rich in pro- portion as he was able to increase the number of his slaves and to multiply his broad acres. And what though, by his system ot farming, fair and fertile fields were exhausted, laid waste and aban- doned? He had but to slay and destroy his magnificent forests to replace them with fresher and rich CT fields. to be in their turn. depict ed. exhausted and ruined. Thus was this goodly heritage, which the God of Nature had so bountl- lully provided, wasted and posi- tiyely robbed, and to-day, all over the beautiful hills and plains of this fair land abandoned, exhaust ed fields and gullied hillsides greet the eye as the mournful footprints of slavery. Shall this process of depletion, exhaustion, waste and ruin be continued? Shall the gen erations which are to follow us continue to be robbed.-Extract from Speech of L. l.. Polk, Editor Progressive Farmer.

THE HUMAN FAMILY.
Distribution of Mankind Over The
 Surface of The Earth.

The human family living to-day on earth consists of about l ,450.- COG, 900 individuals; not less, prob ably more. These are distributed over the earth's surface so that now there is no considerable part where man is not found, In Asia, where he was first planted, there are now approximately about 500. .OO0. .OOO, densely crowded; on an average I20 to the square mile. In Europe there are 3J0, ,ooo,oUO, averaging 100 to the square mile not so crowded, but everywhere dense. and at all points over-popu- lated. In Africa there are 2lO,OOO,- GOO. In America, North and South, there are l1O,0O0,OO0 rela- lively thinly scattered and recent In the Islands, large and small, probably 10,000,000. The extremes of the white and black are as five to three: the remaining 700, 0,0O0, ,O0O intermediate brown and tawny. Of the race, 5OO,0O0,000 are well clothed, that is, wear garments of some kind 10 cover thelr naked ness; 00,000,0O0 are semi-clothed, covering inferior parts ofthe body; 25O,OO0 ,OO0 are practically naked. Of the race, 500,O00,00O live in houses partly furnished with the appointments of civilizations; o0O,- OO0. .000 in huts or caves with no furnishing; 200, ,OO0, ,O0O have noth- ing that can be called a home, are barbarous and savage. The range is from the topmost round-the Anglo-Saxon civilization, which Is the highest known-dOwn to nak- ed savagery.

Of Krupp's's new monster gun, which will eclipse the much talked of British 11O-ton gun, We find tue following particulars given: It's length Is l6 n.. or 52 l2 feet; It's weight about 142, ,000 kg., or l29 tons. and it's caliber 40 cm., or l5.1 inches.

(2,314 poundsJ equal to the weight of the barrel of F cnl. The service charge consists of 4S5 kg" q ,069 pounds) of brown 'prlsmatic Dunwalde powder. With this charge the lighter shell will have an initial velocity of 135 m. (2,4ll ieet,) the heaNer Sheil one oi GAO m. (2,099 feet per second. At tention might be drawn to the fact that, when rted guns were first introduced, the highest initial ve- locity attained was only 300 IF. (9S4 feet.)

The Path to Degradation.

No one can live unto himself and escape personal degradation. He may gain knowledge aud wealth, but the higher things of life will certainly elude his grasp. He can not lve--nnto himself and secure the affection of the best men and women. for his sefShncss will exclude him from their compa- ny. The soul cannot become what God intended it should he unless it is fed with elevated thoughts and pure feelings. That which. strikes one as most peculiar in the human life of Christ is tLat self never en- tered into any of his calculations; "IIe saved others" was the unique testimony that his enemies bore to his character and manner of life.
